I've read most of those and enjoyed them. Secrets of the Samurai by Wesrbrook and Ratti, Karate Do My Way of Life by Funakoshi, Shotokan's Secret by Bruce Clayton, Okinawan Karate by Mark Bishop, and Autumn Lightning, Persimmon Wind, Traditions, Moving Towards Stillness, and Clouds in the West, all by Dave Lowry. These are some of my favorite books. Of course, anything by Donn Draeger is worth reading, as well as anything by Inazo Nitobe. The Karate Dojo by Peter Urban is ok, but I thought The Karate Sensei (also by Urban) was strange.

-Wilson's translations and notes are great-Morgan's book is one of the first I read, and I still enjoy it.-All of Draeger's texts are classics.-I don't know about the ninja book. I have a friend who loves that book, but i've always been skeptical of "ninja" books. I noticed that in Lung's book he has something about what a modern ninja would dress like, and that turned me off. Anyway, I would need to know about the author. -I have the Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and, although I used to read it a lot, am not particularly fond of it anymore. I've began to feel that there isn't really anything original in there, and there are some misconceptions and misunderstood ideas. No disrespect to Lee.

One book that I have mentioned before but I think it deserves to be in here is On Single Combat by K.Kernspecht it is based on Wing Tsun and explains everything in good detail.I would also have to add Blitz Defence by K.Kernspecht to be a great book.I recommend both of these as a must if you are studying Wing Tsun or are just interested.Happy Reading

A book That I have read recently is Living the Martial Way, Its a great book for beginners and Masters, this book helped me understand and also enhance my Martial Walk and why I am a Martial Artist and how I should live my life as one, I recommend this book to everyone.
